5 DRAFT 1 So, you could've had up to 40,000 square feet on the same size lot, or, under the second ~~ 2 scenario, you could've had an additional 10,000 square feet on that adjacent lot. What 3 they're (SECU] asking for is 7,334 square feet total for the entire 3.25 acre-site. So, that's 4 up to this Board to decide and the Planning Board to look at also as to whether or not 5 there's some public benefit to allowing this request as it's proposed. 6 7 The second deviation that they're requesting will be an additional drive-thru lane. In the 8 Hillsborough Area EDD, which does not, and was approved by the BOCC, allow drive-thru 9 facilities. The three there now the four that are there now-are technically grandfathered. 10 They are existing legally. They are also under a Special Use Permit. They cannot be 11 deemed illegal under the Special Use Permit, if it [SUP] was in place when the new zoning 12 was put into effect, which it was. 13 14 The additional lane would be a request to deviate from the standards of no drive-thru 15 facilities. So, that 25 percent expansion would be a request to this Board. 16 17 We did a little checking to find out what they [SECU] may or may not be doing. This was by 18 no means a scientific way of going about it; but we did call down and ask. They are 19 promoting their internet banking. They're pushing.:that to try to get people to do more 20 business by the internet and so forth. And they're also thinking that perhaps they will be 21 able to reduce the amount of sit times for people looking to transact business at the drive- 22 through. They're looking to service their existing clients. I assume they would get more. But 23 there's a limitation as to what can be added to the Credit Union based on their criteria for 24 membership-government workers. I don't think just anyone can join the Credit Union. So 25 they're limited to at least to who would be able to join the Credit Unioh over the long term. 26 So, they're looking that this expansion to serve their existing client base, which they feel 27 could also reduce emissions because people are sitting for shorter amounts of time. That 28 was one way to look at it. 29 30 And, also, the third deviation in this is really not a deviation. The maximum building height -3i ~-~ in this proposed district is-30 feet. T~e,existtrlg_buildipg--is, in.a.couplq of places,_35 feet,..... 32 But what they_'re asking to add on is significantly less than the 30 feet So, anyaddition'that 33 they're looking to add on to this building meets the requirements of the district. But, if it's 34 rezoned to PD-ED-LNR, you have anon-conforming situation right there, so you would 35 need a deviation of five feet. 36 ~ . 37 There were conditions placed on this in '97. We've incorporated all of those related to 38 sewer and landscaping. NGDOT requirements then were to dedicate right-of-way, which 39 they did. For some reason it hasn't shown upon the Land Records system, but there was 40 right-of-way dedicated along 86 for 20 feet. And they requested an additional five feet along 41 Oakdale, which we're going to ask for that same amount again, and to verify that it actually 42 has been done. 43 44 Also, your Special Use Permit, if you were to approve this, would only last for one year. If 45 they have not started any construction within one year, it would expire. And that has to do 46 mainly with zoning. The actual recommendation by Staff is the Zoning Officer's 47 .recommendation. And we've not found anything in our investigation to indicate that this is 48 not a reasonable, good use in that particular area. 49
